Myra
“I...will stay. If that’s okay,” I peer at my soon-to-be guardian, who looks back at me with a suppressed smile. Beside me, Violet is bouncing on her heels excitedly. The moment I had agreed, she had pulled me up and almost dragged me downstairs. By that time, Andrew had emerged from the dining room and was heading somewhere. Eric was unfortunately nowhere to be seen.
“Welcome to the pack of misfits.” My eyes widened as if I was waiting for him to reject, to tell me that he had changed his mind. But he was only smiling gently, his eyes kind and clouded with an unfamiliar emotion. Violet squealed and I couldn’t help but wonder whether she reacted this way with every newcomer. My unvoiced question was soon answered as the girl fist pumped. “Finally! I am not the only she-wolf.”
I looked at Andrew quizzically, who only s
Flashbacks happening :D
Damian “Why do you address me like that?” I asked before gesturing to him to take a seat, but as always, he remained quiet. He never tells me why he addresses me like I am someone from the 18th century. He might be from that era, but that’s not an excuse for him to address me like that. He is a great wizard, a famous one at that and calling me that sometimes makes me feel ashamed and awkward. “Fancy seeing you here,” I said. He inclined his head. “I returned from...abroad a few days ago.” He interlocked his fingers and rested his elbows on the table. “So why this impromptu visit?” I prodded. Was it about the killings? “I have rescued your mate.” “What?” His lips twitched at my surprised look. “Well...she
Myra This time, I didn’t dare transform. Whoever it was, didn’t sound friendly. I could sense Akira coming back to her normal self. She had become alert. ‘What happened to me?’ she asked in a panicked tone. I scoffed but did not answer her. Right now, that wasn’t my concern. Sun rays streamed in through broken windows and wherever they had found a crack. Creepers and roots had embraced the walls like one would wrap a scarf around their neck in winter. The place was creepy and gave off bad vibes. “I didn’t believe it when I got the news about your ‘rebirth’. I had laughed for quite some time, but now I see that the news is true,” the masculine voice said playfully. Rebirth? What the hell? “But it’s sad that you got to become a...dog this time,” he said contemptuously, spewing nonsense
Myra “Connor?” I repeat dumbly. Who the hell is that? My voice seemed to bring him out of his trance. His gaze snapped towards me, eyes widening slightly. His lips curled into a small smile, fake one. “Ah, sorry. He is...an acquaintance of sorts, not very welcomed.” His lips tugged up looking more like a grimace than a placating smile. “Is...he dangerous?” I couldn’t resist asking. “No,” he replied, a little too fast which always meant the contrary. I forced a smile which turned into a nervous chuckle for some reason. “Uh..okay?” I silently exited the library because I did not want to ponder on coming across someone potentially dangerous. However, throughout the rest of the day, the word ‘rebirth’ kept repeating in my brain like a broken record. Why did that guy say this? Did re
Myra “And done,” Vi said as soon as she finished putting the eyeliner. I opened my eyes and stared at the girl in the mirror. “Wow,” I breathed. My gaze flickered to Vi, staring at my reflection with approval, a proud glint in her eyes. I stood up, careful to not ruin the dress that somehow Vi had bought for me. When I had asked her, she had shrugged. The wine red off-shoulder bodycon dress fit me perfectly. Even with a lack of curves, I had managed to pull it off. She had kept the makeup light, painting my lips with red lipstick and dabbing just a little highlighter. My hair was left open but styled in a tousle. I felt beautiful. “Thanks,” I said. “You look bomb.” Vi winked. I blushed at the compliment. I chose to slip on flat pumps because I had never worn heels in my life, ne
Myra The kiss was searing and beyond my imagination. His teeth nipped at my bottom lip and I melted even more into his arms which tightened around my waist. My mind had gone numb, every rational thought stifled by an overwhelming desire that threatened to consume me. I moaned as he started leaving open mouth kisses on my jaw, trailing down the column of my neck, nipping and sucking lightly as he went. “Does he do this as well? Does he kiss you like this?” he murmured against my skin. My skin heated at the possessive tone. I shook my head vigorously, too wound up to speak. ”Good,” he muttered darkly. His hand glided up, resting lightly on my flank. I felt light-headed as he caressed the side, feeling the chill through my dress. He switched sides, kissed his way, and claimed my mouth again. The kiss g
Myra “So, how was the party?” Andrew asked us the next day. After everyone else had left for training. I steadily looked at the carpet rather than at him while Eric muttered a non-committal reply. “Did...something happen?” My head snapped up. His gaze was fixed on me. I gulped and shook my head despite wanting to tell him. “Nothing,” Eric muttered once again. My eyes widened as my gaze flickered to him. He looked unhappy, which was obvious from his clenched jaw and scowl. Andrew nodded, not lingering on the matter. “What did Celie have to say?” he said as he clasped his hands and rested them under his chin and rested his elbow on an open book on the desk that looked older than me. The huge mahogany desk was strewn with papers and books, which is a usual sight. His study had a more modern look than the library, but some ess
Myra Despite my wariness and unwillingness, Akira trotted towards the direction. The scent thickened and enveloped my senses like a warm blanket. I tried my best to not succumb to the pull, but who could fight against nature? Soon, I was standing a few feet away from a tree under which my mate was slouched. Under the milky light of the waning moon, he looked paler. Why was he here? And sitting like this? Was he hurt? I scoffed at the thought because other than silver, I haven’t heard of anything that might hurt a vampire. I trudged towards him and my instincts revved up because something was indeed wrong. He did not seem to even notice my arrival until I was standing a few feet away from him. Akira, to my dismay, let out a whine. That made him raise his head and that’s when I saw his eyes, the pupils had dilated which made
MyraI was shaking by the time I had finished telling Andrew those fragmented, but scary nonetheless nightmares. The ones that were not were a blur and I somehow knew they were not just some illegible images conjured up by my brain, but a part of the nightmare, like there were some old cherished memories. On those nights, my eyes opened more languidly and the only discomfort was the way my chest clenched painfully as it did when I missed my parents.I tried to calm down, tried to regulate my breath before looking at Andrew, who looked dazed. His mouth was slightly agape and his eyes...his eyes spoke volumes, but unfortunately, I couldn’t decipher anything from them.“Is...is something wrong?” I asked hesitantly, and that seemed to break his stupor. “Oh, no...not at all,” he replied
